CONVOCATION RECOGNITION CEREMONY The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Fall 2021
The University of Arizona
COLLEGE OF SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES Convocation Recognition Ceremony Friday, December 17, 2021 Centennial Hall, UA Campus, Tucson, AZ The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, “The People College,” focuses on people and their connections with each other, their pasts, and the world around them to better understand the complexity that shapes their daily lives. Nine of our graduate programs are ranked in the top 25 in the nation.
THE COLLEGE OF SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES equips its students with the critical-thinking and problem-solving skills needed to understand the human condition. Through both classroom education and practical application, SBS graduates can harness their research skills and apply them to real-world contexts. More than ever, society needs interdisciplinary and global thinkers who can address the world’s collective challenges through work in public service and private industry. We are confident that what all SBS graduates have learned at The University of Arizona will put them on a path toward fulfillment, prosperity, and service.
